Solution

Answer 17

Capacity of one packet = 4 ³/₈ pounds = ³⁵/₈ pounds

Total quantity of sugar available = 350 pounds

Therefore, total number of packets required to fill 350 pound sugar

= (Total quantity of sugar available)

(   Capacity of one packet )

= 350

( ³⁵/₈ )

= 350 * 8

( 35 )

= 80 packets

Answer 18

Capacity of one can = 2 ³/₄ gallon = ¹¹/₄ gallon

Total quantity oil available in a tank = 90 ³/₄ gallon = ³⁶³/₄ gallon

Therefore, total number of cans required to fill ³⁶³/₄ gallon oil

= (Total quantity of oil available)

(   Capacity of one can )

= ( ³⁶³/₄ ) / ( ¹¹/₄ )

= 363 / 11

= 33 cans

Answer 19 (A)

( ⁵/₈ ) / 5

= 5 * 5

( 8 )

= 25 / 8

= 3.125

Answer 19 (B)

= ( 45 )

( 3 ³/₄ )

= ( 45 )

( ¹⁵/₄ )

= 45 * 4

( 15 )

= 180 / 15

= 12

Answer 20

= ( ³/₄ + ⁵/₈ ) / ( ³/₄ - ¹/₂ )

= [ ^{{3(2) + 5}} / ₈ ] / [ ^{3 - 1(2)} / ₄  ]

= ( ¹¹/₈ ) / ( ¹/₄ )

= ( 11 * 4 )

( 8 * 1 )

= 44 / 8

= 11 / 2

= 5.5
